My friend and brother from another mother [Mike Vardy](https://productivityist.com/?ref=philsimon.com) joins me for an animated discussion. The productivity guru and overall smart dude talks about leadership, collaboration, and how tools like Slack, [Asana](https://asana.com/?ref=philsimon.com), and [Front](https://frontapp.com/?ref=philsimon.com) alone don't solve our collaboration problems. Go Canada. 🇨🇦
